NAAT is usually not the only thread in Interest Areas. Many other threads have risen and attempted to outdo NAAT, but these have all failed. Nevertheless, there is almost always another rival thread. It is not an official NAAT rule, but an important custom of NAAT's is not to post on these threads. If a thread is not posted on for long enough, it eventually disappears. This is known as defeating the thread. Posting on the thread makes it less likely to disappear, so avoid doing it if possible! Also, it is important to remember that we of the NAAT are gracious to our enemies. While we are rivaling them, and even when we defeat them, gloating or jeering is intolerable. Nobility is a custom of the NAAT that is taken seriously, and it goes toward the treatment of rivals as well! (Important Note: Thread Loyalty to NAAT is NOT required. if you decide you want to post in other threads, or even switch over to and join other threads, please feel free to do so.)

(A quick side note: NaAT never lost a rivalry, but yet it lost its biggest role play status to the role play chat FFAE, and soon lost its war chat status to the Anti Communists, this marked the end of Role play and war being in the same place)

Now then, I've already discussed with y'all the conflicts between the threads in the High School Interest Areas, but now it's time to go a little deeper into the nature of one of the legendary creatures of NSA: the NAAT Dragons.
How many dragons are there?
It is difficult to count exactly how many dragons there have been over the years, however it is true that there has been one dragon per Squire since the founding of the Order of Many Posts. The only exception to this rule was Jeriel Jammullamudy who procured another dragon by unsanctioned means and therefore doomed his second dragon to an evil nature. You see, it's never healthy for a dragon to have to share a human with another dragon. The mental energy that it takes is exhausting for all parties involved and they are forced to use rather inappropriate as well as mentally detrimental means to stop this drain of energy, resulting in one evil dragon, one good dragon, and a human who must flip back and forth. All that to say: it's not worth it, so the NAAT sticks with one dragon each.
An incomplete list of the dragons and their Knights goes as such:

How are they like... born?
Great question! The most basic answer is: they're not. They come in eggs. However, that's not a great answer either because that leads one to believe that dragons have parents, which is false as well. The dragons are actually chemically engineered in the Egg Room in the NAAT Castle and don't have any abilities in and of themselves to procreate. This Egg Room is super secret - only the Knights know about it because of the dangers talked about above for when people have more than one dragon. The other nice thing about the whole "engineered" thing is that they can never go extinct! Well, unless we lose that one piece of paper >_> Thaaaat would be awkwardddd.
Okay, so dragons are cool, I get that, but what do they actually do?
Dragons do lots of things! They're super useful in battles (obviously), but they're also really useful for recon missions or for just having a bit of fun. The main characteristics of a dragon are below:

=== Feledrathin ===
=== Feledrathin ===
Ah, dear Fele. She was one of the best villians we ever had, if I do say so myself. Just the right amount of eeevil and mischevious, with a dash of sickly sweet manners. She actually lured me and my brother into her eeevil lair by using an Indian dish called butter chicken and naan @_@ It was delish, but laced with a sleeping drug. We actually don't know much about Feledrathin's background except for the fact that her main goal in life was to get her hands on the Sword of Nobility, but she couldn't do that because only someone of noble heart could pull it out of the sarcophagus that it was encased in. Lucky for me and my innocent Page-ness, I was able to easily remove the sword and forever become Feledrathin's enemy (well I guess that wasn't terribly lucky now that I think about it). After a grand battle we all defeated Feledrathin and her minion baconypines. Feledrathin took over some of our minds and used her evil black smokey powers to make apparations that we had to fight. Then I'm pretty sure that she got all big and started glowing green and that's when all the dragons began to blow fire on her and all the knights used their dragon powers and then I (using the Sword of Nobility) killed her with one fell swoop. So yeah. That's good old Fele. I personally believe that she's still alive somewhere, probably pulling a Voldemort on us or something, but the world may never know U_U For now though, we shall live in peaceful expectancy.

=== Illathor ===
=== Illathor ===
Now this guy. This guy is one of my favorites. We dicovered Illathor on the quest to preserve the life of an ancient dragon and rescue a NSA Diamond Diadem from being abused. Illathor is an eviiiil scientist (notice the other variation of evil) who likes to experiment on baconypines, putting sweaters and the like on them while calling them all his children. We never really did figure out what kind of stunts he was pulling with the baconypines, but he did end up capturing [[Paul Pepper|Paul]] and Kassi and used some perverted mind games to study the Knight's ability to morph parts of their body into dragon features for protection. Anyway, in the end Illathor didn't get the Diadem even though we promised it to him because we deemed it too dangerous to be left out of the Castle treasury. Illathor is still a frenemy of the KOTOOMPs though so that's good! He's probably off in his cave now experimenting on some baconypines and plotting how to get into the treasury, but, like Feledrathin, we don't really worry about it and he sends us care packages of marshmallow bacon every once in a while. One time the basket even had a large number nine on the side of it. Strange =P
